6 Keep Your Workflow Streamlined OLYMPUS Stream Adapts to Your Workflow Peeled integrated circuit Live Image Navigation Using the OLYMPUS Stream image navigation allows you to pan and zoom on live or stored images. The image navigator interface provides immediate updates of your location on both the zoomed and unmagnified images. The navigation system provides you with fast, immediate displays of your sample before you acquire the image. All image viewing and manipulation is carried out with a clean, simple user interface, providing fast and easy-to-interpret results. Normal image without HDR HDR Capability Perfectly exposed image with HDR HDR (High Dynamic Range) offers an exceptional level of contrast for microscopic images containing both bright, highly reflective features as well as darker low-reflective features. As an integral part of OLYMPUS Stream software, the HDR algorithms automatically acquire a series of images at varying exposure times. Within seconds create a composite image perfectly exposed at every level. This is especially useful for metallurgical microstructures, printed circuit boards, or composite components. HDR imaging is also offered when acquiring stitched, panoramic (MIA) images, or when using the built in Extended Focal Image (EFI) capability to create an image with focus even with varying heights. 5

7 Extended focused image of diamond Instant Extended Focus Image (EFI) OLYMPUS Stream software provides images for samples that extend beyond the standard depth of focus. The instant Extended Focus Image allows you to use the fine focus adjustment to combine many images at different z-levels to provide you with a single combined image that is entirely in focus. Multiple image acquisition of Platinum wires cross sections Manual Multiple Image Alignment (MIA) OLYMPUS Stream software provides Multiple Image Alignment (MIA) to enable the creation of panoramic images of samples that extend beyond the field of view. The software then quickly stitches them together, providing you with a seamless image for observation or complex measurement. Simultaneous use of instant EFI is also possible. *For the appropriate main license for this solution, please refer to the specification table at the end of the brochure. Grid and scale Digital Reticle OLYMPUS Stream brings to you a fully customizable Digital Reticle.

This will provide you with immediate understanding of the size of your objects to save you time. Scales and grids are user definable and can be saved and reused afterwards. *For the appropriate main license for this solution, please refer to the specification table at the end of the brochure. 6

8 Build Your Olympus System Your Way Olympus Offers Solutions to Save You Time Multiple Image acquisition Pt wires cross sections Autofocus For precise sample focusing and fast image acquisition, OLYMPUS Stream offers two autofocus options. For surfaces with high contrast, OLYMPUS Stream can use its contrast-based software autofocus. For surfaces with low contrast, such as polished or transparent materials, the optional laser autofocus unit is a fast, repeatable option when integrated with the Olympus BXiS microscope system. Both systems provide perfectly focused images with the simple click of a button. Macro Recorder OLYMPUS Stream provides a way to preset complex imaging and measuring tasks with the Macro Recorder. The Macro Recorder creates step-by-step processes, that after completion, are stored and then implemented with a single click. The capability ensures different operators are using the same settings for a consistent output. Automatic MIA/EFI When creating large, high-resolution automated Multiple Image Alignment (MIA) images, the combination of OLYMPUS Stream software with a motorised stage easily provides a fast result. The operator selects MIA scanning by using the stage navigator tool, which steps the operator though the entire process. When using the automatic EFI function with a motorised focus unit, the software recommends the optimum number of images required to provide perfectly focused images even outside the depth of field. Tilt Compensation OLYMPUS Stream can recognise a sample s tilt by taking three or more points on the image data when performing automated MIA using motorised systems. This shortens the time while increasing the repeatability when acquiring images. 7

9 OLYMPUS Stream Gets You the Image You Want Coin detail Surface View 3D profilometry of wear track By using the motorised focus unit, samples with different heights can be imaged automatically. In addition, a 3D image can be created that can be measured using the z-stack data. * For the appropriate main license for this solution, please refer to the specification table at the end of the brochure. + = Filter (Enhancement of contrast by DCE filter) Arithmetics Image Processing OLYMPUS Stream has a variety of filters for edge detection, smoothing, and other purposes. You can visualise image features by enhancing and modifying your image with a processing filter. For best results, you can check or adjust the filter results in a preview display before making the change. Additionally, image manipulations such as sum, subtraction and erosion are also carried out without losing your original image. 8

10 Build Your Olympus System Your Way From Simple Measurements to Particle Analysis Measurement operation Basic Measurement Optical inspection and quality control require frequent measurements. OLYMPUS Stream provides interactive measurement functions such as distances, angles, rectangles, circles, ellipses and polygons. The measurements are made with your mouse and show immediate feedback on the image or in the live data table. All results are saved with the image files as records. To further improve on accuracy, optical settings such as system magnification are automatically recorded when combined with the Olympus Microscope system. Measurement Result Included with the OLYMPUS Stream Basic package and other more advanced packages is an integrated data analysis package. The data analysis provides statistical analysis on your data based on your needs. You can calculate mean, standard deviation, min, max, and more. All of the data gathered is exported to Microsoft Excel with a single click. Magic Wand OLYMPUS Stream Essentials and other more-advanced packages include a wand for automatically detecting the edges of the sample you wish to measure. The Magic Wand allows you to select the measurement points free hand for simple or multiple lines, plus free hand polygon measurements for irregularly shaped objects. Layer Management Each image as it is captured and annotated is broken into layers (original image, measurement data, annotations etc.), allowing you to change processing files (smoothing and/ or sharpening) without affecting your measurement results. You can easily retain your measuring data as you carry out your analysis and measurements. Traceability For quality control and traceability recording the conditions of image acquisition is essential. With OLYMPUS Stream, you can quickly create a calibration report for important information such as magnification, objective lens type, pixel size, scale bar, etc. The Info Stamp created from updated calibration information can be overlaid on the acquired image and reports. 9
